We are now moving into testing season. The first of the STAAR exams will begin this month along with the continuation of appropriate benchmark testing. We want all students to do well. I am sure you will also want to support your child during the test taking process, which includes district benchmarks and STAAR. Please help prepare your child by:

·Assuring that he/she is well-rested

·Arrives to school on time

·Eats a good breakfast

·Receives words of encouragement

·Has a positive incentive to do well

·Maintains a positive attitude

·Understands the purpose of the test

We expect 100% attendance on test days so please plan your child’s medical appointments around the testing schedule. Also, RSPA-NW will be closed during testing. A “closed campus” does not allow visitors on campus or lunch time guests. Our students have worked very hard this year and we anticipate a great experience for everyone.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. If you have questions or need additional information, please reach out to us. Thank you, once more, for entrusting your child’s education with us.
